Partindo de um sentido de inovação pedagógica assente numa concepção de clara ruptura com abordagens pedagógicas tradicionalistas ligadas a uma certa perspectiva transmissiva/reprodutiva do saber, o presente trabalho de investigação analisa a utilização, em contexto curricular escolar, de uma plataforma de e-learning, considerando um enquadramento referencial de natureza construtivista, no qual, o aluno possa assumir um papel central e activo, na criação do seu próprio conhecimento. Consistindo numa abordagem de natureza qualitativa, o estudo de caso apresentado releva um paradigma interpretativo decorrente da análise da utilização, pelos alunos, de uma turma do 4º Ano de escolaridade, da plataforma de e-learning ―Escola Virtual™‖. Para tal intento, a diversidade de técnicas de recolha de dados — observação participante, entrevistas , e análise documental — ao permitirem uma triangulação dos mesmos, fundamentam um aprofundado sentido de comprensão do fenómeno analisado. Deste modo, a investigação centra-se em 3 componentes referenciais: Componente Pedagógica, Componente de Conteúdos e Componente de Interface. Os resultados obtidos revelam que, no âmbito da primeira componente, surgem especialmente facilitados os processos colaborativos entre os alunos, embora num contexto de interacção presencial e com carácter essencialmente pontual; a actuação docente, mantendo o seu carácter imprescindível, adquire uma dimensão de maior proximidade e orientação dos alunos enquanto, por seu turno, o nível motivacional dos alunos é estimulado, focalizando o aluno nas tarefas de aprendizagem. A natureza do feedback presente, no entanto, revelou-se um factor com efeitos prejudiciais para os processos de reflexão e metacognição dos alunos. No respeitante aos conteúdos, foi evidente alguma ligeireza e fragilidade de concepção em muitos deles, comprovada por uma quantidade expressiva de erros e lapsos de diversa natureza; enquanto que a natureza pré-formatada dos conteúdos — estruturando-os em ―Objectos de Aprendizagem‖ — limitou significativamente a possibilidade de desenvolvimento de procressos activos e criativos por parte do aluno, bem como, anulando a capacidade de abordagem de competências de natureza prática previstas no Programa Nacional do Ensino Básico. Por fim, o interface que, embora caracterizando-se pela sua intuitividade e simplicidade, suporta um limitado grau de controlo, pelos alunos, sobre os fluxos interactivos, reduzidos às suas expressões mais elementares. No seu aspecto global podemos considerar que, num contexto curricular escolar, a plataforma ―Escola Virtual‖ não se constitui como uma ferramenta de aprendizagem capaz de se enquadrar num paradigma de inovação pedagógica congruente com o sentido atrás defendido,não obstante possamos entender, que a mesma, constitua uma potencial mais-valia no âmbito da consolidação e testagem de conhecimentos préviamente adquiridos.

The present study aims to investigate the constructs of Technological Readiness Index (TRI) and the Expectancy Disconfirmation Theory (EDT) as determinants of satisfaction and continuance intention use in e-learning services. Is proposed a theoretical model that seeks to measure the phenomenon suited to the needs of public organizations that offer distance learning course with the use of virtual platforms for employees. The research was conducted from a quantitative analytical approach, via online survey in a sample of 343 employees of 2 public organizations in RN who have had e-learning experience. The strategy of data analysis used multivariate analysis techniques, including structural equation modeling (SEM), operationalized by AMOS© software. The results showed that quality, quality disconfirmation, value and value disconfirmation positively impact on satisfaction, as well as disconfirmation usability, innovativeness and optimism. Likewise, satisfaction proved to be decisive for the purpose of continuance intention use. In addition, technological readiness and performance are strongly related. Based on the structural model found by the study, public organizations can implement e-learning services for employees focusing on improving learning and improving skills practiced in the organizational environment

This study aims to demonstrate that data from business games can be an important resource for improving efficiency and effectiveness of learning. The proposal presented here was developed from preliminary studies of data from Virtual Market games that pointed the possibility of identifying gaps in learning by analyzing the decisions of students. This proposal helps students to refine their learning processes and equips tutors with strategies for teaching and student assessment. The proposal also complements the group discussion and/or debriefing, which are widely used to enhance learning mediated by games. However, from a management perspective the model has the potential to be erroneous and miss opportunities, which cannot be detected because of the dependence on the characteristics of the individual, such as ability to communicate and work together. To illustrate the proposed technique, data sets from two business games were analyzed with the focus on managing working capital and it was found that students had difficulties managing this task. Similar trends were observed in all categories of students in the study-undergraduate, postgraduate and specialization. This discovery led us to the analysis of data for decisions made in the performance of the games, and it was determined that indicators could be developed that were capable of indentifying inconsistencies in the decisions. It was decided to apply some basic concepts of the finance management, such as management of the operational and non-operational expenditures, as well as production management concepts, such as the use of the production capacity. By analyzing the data from the Virtual Market games using the indicator concept, it was possible to detect the lack of domain knowledge of the students. Therefore, these indicators can be used to analyze the decisions of the players and guide them during the game, increasing their effectiveness and efficiency. As these indicators were developed from specific content, they can also be used to develop teaching materials to support learning. Viewed in this light, the proposal adds new possibilities for using business games in learning. In addition to the intrinsic learning that is achieved through playing the games, they also assist in driving the learning process. This study considers the applications and the methodology used.

Discutem-se as mudanças constatadas no ensino da Histologia, como a tecnologia tem sido empregada nos contextos de aprendizagem, os aspectos pedagógicos inerentes à utilização de recursos, tais como atlas digitais e microscópios virtuais, e apresenta-se pesquisa sobre o desenvolvimento de um ambiente virtual de ensino-aprendizagem de Histologia, que contou com a participação de alunos e professores em sua construção. Verificou-se que os ambientes virtuais e outros recursos didáticos baseados nas Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TICs) procuram atender à atual tendência de complementar a educação presencial com ferramentas de educação a distância, que podem ser utilizadas facultativamente no estudo extraclasse continuado. Concluiu-se que, embora as novas tecnologias possam contribuir para o ensino de Histologia, os materiais didáticos baseados em TICs devem se adequar às expectativas docentes e discentes e aos aspectos pedagógicos e ergonômicos, e precisam ser adotados pelos professores não como ferramentas isoladas, mas integrados às estratégias de ensino- -aprendizagem

Objective. To evaluate the influence of previous adaptation to different computational environments in visuo-spacial tasks performance of healthy individuals. Method. Healthy volunteers (n = 30), 15 male, mean age 25.3 ± 3.3 years, were divided in three groups: the first group, considered control, was not adapted to the proposed environments; the second group was adapted to a closed environment (stable and expected), and the third group was adapted to an open environment A (unexpected). The proposed task was to go through two open environments B and C (maze). The dependent variables Time and Error were considered for the analysis. Results. It was observed that during the adaptation phase, in the Time variable, the groups presented a progressive improvement in the performance to each task (p = 0.0036). The group adapted in the A open environment, showed a tendency to be faster in the execution of B and C open environments tasks, than the group adapted in the closed environment (p = 0.068). Conclusion. The study suggests that subjects adapted to visuo-spacial tasks execution involving unknown and no guided situations, present a tendency to a better time performance in these tasks when compared to subjects adapted in fixed and guided situations.

Semi-supervised learning is applied to classification problems where only a small portion of the data items is labeled. In these cases, the reliability of the labels is a crucial factor, because mislabeled items may propagate wrong labels to a large portion or even the entire data set. This paper aims to address this problem by presenting a graph-based (network-based) semi-supervised learning method, specifically designed to handle data sets with mislabeled samples. The method uses teams of walking particles, with competitive and cooperative behavior, for label propagation in the network constructed from the input data set. The proposed model is nature-inspired and it incorporates some features to make it robust to a considerable amount of mislabeled data items. Computer simulations show the performance of the method in the presence of different percentage of mislabeled data, in networks of different sizes and average node degree. Importantly, these simulations reveals the existence of the critical points of the mislabeled subset size, below which the network is free of wrong label contamination, but above which the mislabeled samples start to propagate their labels to the rest of the network. Moreover, numerical comparisons have been made among the proposed method and other representative graph-based semi-supervised learning methods using both artificial and real-world data sets. Interestingly, the proposed method has increasing better performance than the others as the percentage of mislabeled samples is getting larger. © 2012 IEEE.
